Nicholas In my understanding, I think the JSP Compiler is expecting an import statement that contains a ".". Anyways, if your class lies in the "default" package (which effectively means that it has no package definition), just remove the <%@ page import="DevOffer"%> statement, and it should work, even for Tomcat 4.0.4.
